(GMM) According to paddock speculation, both Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari have reached only 'verbal agreements' to keep racing with Toro Rosso in 2011.

After boss Franz Tost said recently the duo are re-confirmed for next season, the young drivers both indicated it is possible they will in fact not be racing a Faenza-built car in 2011.

"The team confirmed its intention to continue with me and I am very happy," Swiss Buemi, 21, is quoted by Auto Hebdo at Hockenheim.

He has been linked with a move to Renault in 2011.

"It's normal that there has been some discussions elsewhere, but for me, the situation has always been more or less clear," added Buemi, who like Alguersuari is believed to be contracted to team owner Red Bull, not Toro Rosso.

Pressed about his Toro Rosso situation, he said: "In life, everything can change quickly, but for the moment, that's the way it is.

"Right now, my goal is to do well and prove that I deserve to be with a team that can win races. I'll try to make the most of my time with Toro Rosso.

"This is the team I started with and I want to show we can do great things with a small budget," added Buemi.
